I cannot bring myself to rehash Dirty Sexy Money, Episode 3, "The Family Lawyer." I want to think of it as a misstep, a gaffe.
Please, unpair Nola Lyons (Lucy Liu) and Jeremy Darling (Seth Gabel). They have no chemistry what. so. ever. Nothing against the actor, but he is a one-trick-pony in this role. All he is is a pretty face. There is a large cast and they should have dispensed with Gabel as they did with his "twin," Samaire Armstrong.
Bringing Nick George's bio mom into the storyline gave it nothing except a chance for Letitia (the woefully underused Jill Clayburgh) at the very end of the episode to declare her deep mother love for "Nicky."
In re: Nick and Lisa George (Zoe McLellan). Please break them up. Her constant whining is driving me to distraction and it's hard enough to stay focused with an eppy like this. I dread the upcoming marriage therapy sessions unless the end result is they they should quit it.
I want to like this show and it came out of the gate strongly this season so I'm hoping that this was just a creative slip and it will be back next episode being as dirty and sexy and it needs to be.
